Zwaluwzang

illustrated stories

Tato Martirossian (Tato Schrijft) arrived in The Netherlands as a child, clueless about the country and its language or culture, far away from her home country Armenia. More than 20 years later, she writes about those first Dutch experiences in her own blog called "Zwaluwzang" (Dutch for "swallow song").

The Zwaluwzang stories are personal and from an innocent child's perspective, which is reflected in the illustrations for each story.
